Question

What are the biggest mistakes you see made by divers?

Answer 1

Buoyancy, I have seen many divers just trying to figure it out and end up stirring the water up and stepping on the reefs.

Answer 2

Being over weighted. Number one cause of buoyancy problems and bad air comsumption. If you would do a weight check and add 5lbs for the air in your cylender youll be alot mor comfortable in the water column.

Answer 3

Detaching their partner during the dive. Therefore, it’s important to choose your partner carefully. (and prefer someone you already know)

Answer 4

On a trip to the Channel Islands a young lady was getting ready to jump in the water with NO SPG. Thank God a crewmember grab her. They put one on for her thank God. The channel islands are a great dive spot, but cold and not shallow. She was an accident looking for a place to happen.

Answer 5

Getting complacent and thinking nothing will happen to you...

Always do your pre dive safety checks, always make a plan, and always dive the plan.
